Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C) from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). The temperature dips to an average of 65.8°F (18.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
